Whatsup guys, I have the Reefer XL525 60x22x23/ I hve 2 gyres on the back wall spaced evenly on either side of the receiving box. i have them on about 50 power dropping down to 30 at night. On each side wall of the tank i have debao dmp 40. I have those pumps off because thats where this question comes in. if i have them all running, with the wave makers on the side wall mess up the gyre flow? in terms of debris making it to the intake box.
I was also thinking about 2 small wave makers on both sides of intake box at the bottom facing the side walls to keep flow back there behind the rockwork.
Thoughts? any suggestions will be helpful.
